Lowery Road

Summary:

Lowery Road Elementary is a public elementary school in Fort Worth, Texas, serving 486 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Fort Worth Independent School District, which is ranked 783 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lowery Road Elementary faces significant academic challenges, with consistently low test scores and rankings compared to the district and state averages. The school has a higher percentage of African American (45.68%) and Hispanic (38.48%) students than the state average, and its performance is particularly concerning for these student subgroups. Only 29.85% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in STAAR Reading in 2023-2024, compared to the district's 32.84% and the state's 48.85%. Lowery Road has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years.

The challenges faced by Lowery Road Elementary are not unique, as the nearby schools, such as Atwood McDonald Elementary, Bill J Elliott Elementary, and John T White Elementary, also struggle academically, with test scores and rankings similar to or slightly better than Lowery Road. This suggests that the issues within the Fort Worth Independent School District may be contributing to the school's challenges, and addressing them will require a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
